I've Had My Braces On For The Past Five Years

I've had my braces on for the past five years and the only thing left to fix is my slight overbite which we've tried to fix with rubber bands for the past two and a half years. I was really bad about wearing them for the first year and a half but since then I've been wearing them like the orthodontist says. No matter how much I tell the orthodontist I'm wearing them though, he doesn't listen to me and just says to keep wearing them more even though I wear them all the time even doubling up sometimes. What should I do to get them off? Am I out of options?
